Default Mail merge repeating decimals issue

I'm trying to mail merge an email to students using excel data into word. I have their GPA in excel and want to put it into word for mail but their GPA is displayed in repeating decimals. How can I get rid of the repeating numbers/decimals and only have x.xx instead of x.xxxxxxxx

This is discussed in the 'Mailmerge Tips & Tricks' thread at the top of this forum - see 'Mailmerge Number & Currency Formatting' there.
